This article will discuss the following:
DC20 Wiring for Shared Locks
Configuration for Separate Ingress/Egress Access Credentials
Note: This setup requires an external power supply, such as an Altronix box.
Configuration for Ingress/Egress Access Readers
Use Cases
Entry and Exit Readers
For use cases where separate permissions need to be leveraged for entering and exiting the same door, the installer will need to use two separate inputs for the readers and two separate relays. The wiring from the relays needs to be fed into an Altronix box where the single output can be run to the locking hardware. This will allow the end user to set different permissions for entering the door as opposed to exiting. The events will be logged separately in the access control events logs. In this case, follow the wiring for separate ingress/egress access credentials shown above.
Double Doors
Double doors can use either a single locking mechanism or two, depending on the setup.
For double doors, you have two choices for maglocks:
- Two separate locks joined together, each with its own independent wiring.
- One lock with a single set of wiring.
If you choose to use only one lock, refer to the wiring instructions for the ingress and egress access readers provided above.
Rhombus Console Setup
When sharing a lock, you can configure multiple readers for the same door to represent your DC20 wiring accordingly in the Rhombus Console.
1. Navigate to "Settings," select "Door Controllers," and click on the DC20 you will be configuring the readers to.
2. Edit an existing door, or create a new door.
3. Configure the virtual door settings. For more details, see this article.
- When configuring the reader ports, select both readers that will be used for this door.
4. Once the virtual door is completed with both readers associated, click "Finish."
